Story Behind The Song
THe song written in a unisex way so that anyone can identify with it. I was dating a girl at the time that i was madly in love with but wanted to resist being sucked into the confines of a relationship. The "evening sentries" refers to the dogs that barked all night long which periodically woke me up and made me cuddle closer to my girl.
Song Description
A cinematic trip hop pop song about the struggle between indulgence in love and maintaining independence. The beat drives the strings and the chord progression comes from a guitar being finger picked but then reversed. The beats are mainly influenced by group called "Lamb" and the song echos of teardrops.

Lyrics
broken in three
stepping into
your lucid dream
i have dreams too
foreign universe
at the bottom of the sea
i've still got your message
intoxicating me
kiss my closed eyes
cradle my soul
the ring around the moon
your arms around me
blankets of calm
drinking me to sleep
evening sentries
keep me on my feet
caring for you
is daring for me
it's against my will
this structure we build
theatre seats
fingers in my hair
your scent fills my senses
i know that you care
